 At dinner, Miss Bultitude says that she recognised the rhesus macaque as one from a [[shop]] run by [[James Ensor]]'s [[Maria Catherina Haegheman|mother]] and takes Peri to the [[terrace]] when Chardalot lights a [[cigar]]. In their absence, Chardalot asks the Doctor about [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], which Peri has been seen entering and leaving, and claims that he has come to investigate a [[murder]] that is yet to happen. Miss Bultitude knows that some of his stories of solving [[crime]]s are untrue and believes that he is a [[con artist]] as she saw him leaving the macaque at reception prior to his supposed near-drowning. She is also suspicious as his visit coincides with that of another guest whom she intends to introduce Peri to.
-Peri declines Chardalot's invitation for her and the Doctor to join him in a walk on the [[promenade]] and they help Miss Bultitude get to her room when she claims to be feeling ill, but she admits once upstairs that she is not staying at the [[hotel]] and leads them to the room of [[Toby the Sapient Pig]], whom she has been following around [[Europe]] in the hopes of meeting him and proving his existence. Toby is afraid of the Doctor and has [[Albertine|Nurse Albertine]] stun his three visitors with a [[weapon]] similar to a [[cattle prod]]. He keeps the Doctor and Miss Bultitude in his room whilst Nurse Albertine claims to have found Peri at the bottom of the linen chute, leading Chardalot to begin a search for the missing pair.
